An Egret Among the Geese (Two Photographs)

I metered off the white of the bird so it is no surprise the surroundings are darker. Because I liked the effect I reduced the shadows, that accentuated the dark surroundings. I won’t call it Rembrandt lighting, but that was the theory. I was shooting off a cliff down on a windy cove off a river. A different way of doing things, both the shooting and the processing.
